To regulate the couvict labor of the peni tentiary. was the first presented. Mr. Kockafellow followed thw reading by introducing a petition, urging the passage of the bill, signed by 304 representative men of his county. Mr. Clark, of Arapahoe, who had taken the chair, thought the offering of the peti tion was in liad taste. Mr. kockafellow said the speaker had in structed him to present the petition when the bill came np for third reading. ** Well,” said Mr. Clark. “The gentleman from Fremont lias un eight-foot petition ; will it lie received ?” When the laughter had subsided the res olution was accepted. Mr. kockafellow continued : “ 1 ask the indulgence of the honse but for u few minutes. This petition was start ed fact fall, and was placed in ray hands before the bill under consideration was drafted. 1 did not present it because I thought it would not be necessary. Attar our locality bad made a present to the state of a site whereon the prison labor has run the material for erecting its half million dollars' worth of wulls and buildings, di rectly by dow n grade into place, at only a cost to the state of the lumber, iron and glass. A site where all of the labor not thus engaged in erecting buildings ran be profita bly employed on the grounds la-longing to the state ; grounds where the Mate prisoners are now earn mg $2,000 a month in the pro duction of lime alone, and should show earnings in cut stone and brick to an cquul amount; where in the boot and shoe factory more good soles (what kind of Wile* asked Mr. Clark.) an made monthly than in ail the balance of the Mate; a site that it i» not possible to improve upon for .

J CANTON CITY, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 10, 1883. Mr. Belfort! Fined. In the star route trial, on 'Wednesday, Congressman Belford was called to tbs stand, and testified to the rapid growth of Colorado towns, and the consequent needs of increased mail facilities. He had often called upon the second assistant postmaster general, and solicited increased service. When the lawyers had gotten through with him, Mr. Belford asked tho privilege of making a statement regarding that $2,000 check. The court denied him the courtesy, saying that was not a public meeting, but a judicial tribunal. Beltbnl then exclaimed : “ 1 state, before the liv ing God, that I never saw such a check.” He started oat, but Judge Wylie called him back, and fined him SIOO for contempt of court. When fined Mr. Belford retorted: u 1 will pay $500; but no man shall sUtb mv character!” The fine was then paid, and the indUgoaat “Bsd Hailed jkyiV the following card: Kerdell n-Httried that I gave J B Belford a ••heck for tand that that charge appears uijou the books which he kept. I never gave Belford a check for one cent. There never wa-s a Iran Miction of any name or nature be tween Belford and myself; no noch charge appears In any book or mine; no such check was ever given ; no person acting for Belford or for me ever transacted by my authority business involving one cent. The whole story Is a vile, vlrtous and cowardly falsehood, without a glimmer of truth upon which to build the mountain of perjury. I say this much, and at this time, for the reason that Belford was to-day denied the right to tell the truth front the same stand from which Rerdcll uttered his falsehood. amass w. Dojbscy. Uesd and Ponder. Speaking of the factional fights which have well-nigh wrecked the republican party in Colorado, the Denver Inter-Ocean, one of the most loyal, unflinching mouth pieces of the Grand old party. Sounds a note of alarm which it were well for all — both leader and lad —to read and ponder carefully. In* a late issue it closes a very sensible article entitled, “ Stop the Faction Fight,” in these words: We would liketo see the railroad question lifted ont of party politics—the railroad question, we mean, as it refers to the eon tost of one line against another. We would like to see the personal quarrels of the re publican leaders dropped, because there is ho principle behind snch conflicts. If harmony cannot be restored, the party will go uudrr. If the party is to be the I tail of a corporation, the voters will let the j corporation wag it into a stab. The repub lican masM* are not of the sort to be tlte serfs of auy one man, or the slaves of any one corporation. The leaders mast stop and think. The voters have already stopped and thought. The formation of anti-monopoly leagues means an organized blow at the power of the corporations, ami the movement in cludes an organized effort to throw off per sonal rule. If the republics* party is not greater than any one man, or any one clique, the republican party will die. If the republi can leaders do not heed, they will lie iead j era without a following. That Whlpptii* Our. On the second page of this issue we pre sent. almost in frill, the testimony adduced at, and the result of, the .trial of l*ro feasor Samuel 11. Baker, principal of the Cation City I*ublic Schools, on the charge of as sault and battery upon the son of J. A. Wacker, a pupil, preferred by the father. We have given this case in detail for the reason that similar ones are very rare, and i the issue of this may establish a preee | dent in our city, if nowhere else. We foel ) that the interrats of education demand the serious, candid, sober attention of every ■ member of good society. Bodies like schools cannot be governed without discipline. J Without discipline in the schoolroom ad ! vonceinent is impossible. The education of | our children is the first and highest doty the parent owes to his offspring. Ergo, ed ucation must be imparted ; it cannot be without discipline in our schools ; wc must have discipline. While we jvouhi not hesi tate to condemn any teacher in the land for cruelty to children, and brand him as a usurper and a tyrant, we caunot but foel that a due exercise of the power of the pa . rent bv the teacher in restraining the in- I subordination ami impulsiveness of youth 1 to that degree which will insure the most i rapid ncuuinitiou of all those virtues which j go to make men and women honorable, no- I hie and wise, is but just and right, and in ! which an intelligent people wifi undoobt ! cdly sustain him. Talior and His Wedding*. | Quite s sensation has grown out of the ' marriage of Senator H. A. W. Tabor, at | Washington, last week, to Mrs. Elizabeth M. McOourt-Doe. I First, Father Chapnelle, of St. Matthew’s j Catholic church. Washington, complains that he was deceived by both the contract ing parties, who stated there was no im pediment to the union, when, in foot, both bail been divorced from previous husband and wife respectively. The reverend pre late is highly indignant, and declares the marriage void in the church, but valid in law. Following close upon the nuptials comes the startling denouement that Senator Ta bor and Mrs. McCourt met by preconcerted arrangement, at St. IxHiin, on September 30 hist, and were clandestinely married. There would lie nothing so terrible about this, were it not for the claim that the divorce granted to Mr. Tabor at Durango, previ ous to the St. Lonis marriage, was illegal; hence making him a bigamist by this clan destine marriage. There seems good ground for this claim, in view of the fiict that, on Janunrv 2,1853, Mrs. Tabor secured a di vorce from her husbaud, together with a settlement of alimony, at Denver. We have thus briefiv given the apparent facts in the ease, leaving the pnblie lb form its own opinions in the matter. J The lawlessness of the saloon interest iu Fort Collins is creating a stalwart senti ment against them. Ths Courier, while ad mitting that there are some honorable men connected with the liquor traffic in the city, declares that the open, flagrant and wan ton disregard of public decency, frequent and wilt Ail violations of the city ordinances and of the conditions of their bonds, has produced a bountiful harvest of public In dignation, which these scoffers at law and order must reap. Dr. .T J Crook, superintendent of pub lic instruction in lake county, having an nounced that the Leodvjlfe public schools would be re-opened on Monday, next, re ceived an anonymous fetter, threatening to blow up his house, or kill him ii some way, if the schools were re-opened.

A. itsynoidn ■loved the Framont Gouty Book into the new building elected by him daring the winter, on the corner of Mein mod Fourth street*. A brief description of tbis tine building may not be uninteresting, and we therefore give it, together with many de tails concerning the style, finish and occu pation of the new handsome quarters of the above-mentioned institution: TO* KKW BUI LDCfG, Which is known as the Raynolda-McGee block, was commenced on the Ist of Aug ust last. Its construction has been slow and tedious, owing to various circumstances, chief among which was the great length of time occupied in cutting so much stone. The foundation is of limestone, quarried here at the penitentiary, and is of au excel lent, durable quality. Mr. L. A. Allen was the contractor on this portion of the work, and performed his part in a very satisfac tory manner. From this rises the buiidiag, which is of two stories, each fourteen fact in the clear. The contractors for the stonework of the su per* tract are, Messrs. McAdams St Op linger, have also done a most excel beat piece of work. The general style of architect ure is of the Renaissance order, strong yet beautiful. The two front walls—forty-four feet on Main street, and sixty-six fact on Fourth street —are laid up in “ Broken Ash ler ’’ style, of a very handsome, subdued pink-hued stone, brought from Castle Reck. Douglas county. There are five belting courses in these walls, the third being orna mented with a heavy molding. These, as well as all the sills, caps mid jambs of openings (except door sills) are of Brand ford stone, handsomely dressed. This is a beautiful rock, quarried by Maura. Franck & Lutte, a few miles below this city. Of it t he Arapahoe county courthouse, at Denver, is built. The heavy water table is of a hard, white stone, found on Four-Mile creek, near Cafion The wallsarrsnrmount ed by a heavy cornice, five feet in depth, consisting of panels, formed by corbels or brackets, each panel being ornamented with a large, handsomely-wrought ioeette, the whole capped by a heavy, molded coping. Every portion of the cornice, including the rosettes, is chiseled from Brand ford stone. Two handsome pediments—one on each front—surmount this enmicr, that on the west half of the Main street front bearing the word u McGee,” cut in relief upon its face. The two fronts, which have an ele vation of thirty-five feet, are pierced with openings as follows: Main street front, lower story, three single-light French plate glass windows, each six by ton feet in aise, and double plate glass and walnut doors; upper floor, one double and one triple two light (28x46) windows. Fourth street front, lower story, two double and one triple win dows and double walnut and glam stairway entrance; upper story, four double win dows. THE BAKK EtTBAXo: la set diagonally aero— the northeast cor ner ; is approached by several large, dressed Royal Gorge granite steps, and surmounted by’a projecting, heavy rut stone arch, sup ported by two very handsome columns, of Vermont granite, with elaborately-wrought capitals. In the center of this au-h, cot in relief, am*ear the words: “ Eerrahi.ished 1874.** From this entrance rises to a height of seventy feet a beautiful and SYMMETRIC At. TOWER. Crowned, at an elevation of forty feet, with a 3,000-pound cut stone coronet, «u*i>i-cir cular in form, upon the eauvex side of w hich, in large, alto-rilievo characters, ap pear the words: “ RAYNOUDB." “ BANK.” The lettering was done hgr Hn«n llu batsch St Kramer, and is teatefally wrought. In the face of tins tower, on the second floor, is a three-sided bar window. At the base of the spire which surmounts this tower, far above the roof; is a nosy observa tory, accessible from the second floor by s spiral stairway. From here a pleasant and commanding view is to be obtained. The roofs of the buildiug are all metallic, and were put on by J. C. Agard and Messrs. Harding Brothers, Gallon's leading hard ware dealers. The numerous fire flues are of brick, with heavy cut stone ornamental cappings. TUK UPPER APARTMENTS. At the south end of the Fourth street front four massive atone stem lead to the stairway entrance. A broad night of stairs leads to the apartments on the second floor. These consist of eleven elegantly finished rooms, four over the banking room and seven over the store room of Mr. McGee, separated by a five-foot hall, running the entire length of the building. Each of these rooms is furnished with commodious coal cleasts, clothes closets, marble lavatories, and all modern improvements. Water is conveyed in pip— to every part of the building. The painting in these roams, aa well as that throughout the building, is of the moat artistic order, and was done by Mr. Fred Bn ml hold t and Johnson St Ov, as clever artiste in their line —amto bo found anywhere. THE BANEING ROOM Occupies the northeastern half of Mm build- I ing, and is '22x06 fret in aise. Kt la hand somely fiaiahed and richly furnished. The counters, desk# aud railings are all of wal nut; the casings, liases and other trim mings, are of eastern pirns oiWL giving them a very rich color. The flidshKagi am done in Queen Anne style.

It is oTbriek, the walls being two fret in thickness, and the floor laid with ten feet of cement and concrete. The roof is of railroad iron and stone, and eery thick. The vault stands on its own foundation, entirely independent of the building, thus rendering it perfectly fire-proof. This stronghold is furnished with com mod ions pigeon-holes, for the preservation of papers, and a targe, strong safe, provided with triple doom, double combination locks and a Yale time-lock. The doom of the vault are double, made of the best of iron, and for niehed with the most approved bolt-locks. This vault was built by Mr. J. A.

Thia is a wise precaution, and insures the greatest security. THE WOODWORK Was all done bj those well-known knights of the saw and plane, Messrs. McAdams A Oplinger, and is of a character which stamps them aa irr>»*♦*** workmen. The heavier portion of the work is of a most substantial character, and the trimming is of the finest order, reflecting great credit upon these gentlemen. The doors and win dows are fitted with genuine bronze hard ware, furnished by Harding Brothers. THE COST —REMARKS. We conld not ascertain the exact cost of this building, but were assured that it would reach neary $30,000. This does not include the ground upon which it stands, which east ffoOOO. The west half of the structure, twenty two feet front and sixty-six feet depth, has been fitted up with shelving and counters, and will shortly be occupied by Mr. J. E. Brown, aa a foncy grocery store. It is a handsomewtore room. The building, M from turret to founda tion stone,” is complete in every particular, and stands an ornament to our city and a credit to the workmen who reared it. To the projectors and owners it is more. Be sides being a structure of which they may well be proud, it will stand for ages, an enduring monument to their faith in the future of our fair city and their enterprise as business men of Southern Colorado. To them our people owe a great debt, and we trust such public spiritedness may be emu lated by others, until Cation shall have be come artificially, as she is naturally, the handsomest and most attractive city in the state. To Mr. Reynolds. the owner of the Fre mont County Bunk, the erection of this costly and durable structure is of more than ordinary import. For nine years he has conducted this hank in Cafion, and the disposition and ability which have enabled him to construct such a building evidence, mote potently than words can express, the confidence of the people with whom be has dealt. It gives proof of the popularity and success which he has won by square dealing and strict attention u> business, and the wish of the people of Fremont county and Southern Colorado is for a con tinuance of the exercise of those character istics which have thus been crowned.

W-JL Fowler, fim.te nominations, reported the followingnamor ' For president, G. O. Baldwin ; ftr Tice pres ident, B. F. Moore; for secretary, Mrs. John W. Warner; for treaaurer, J. J. Phelpe; for corresponding secretary, W. R. Fowler. Mrs. J. W. Warner declined, and suggest ed the name of Her. W. M. M. Barber, who also declined. Rev. Chamberlain, at the request of Mrs. Warner, suggested the name of Anson 8. Rudd for secretary, which suggestion was adopted. Mr. Baldwin felt unequal to the respon sibilities of the office of president, and named Anson Rndd as a better man. Mr. Rudd thought they ought to en deavor to enlist everybody in the cause, and not confine the honors to one family. He declined. On motion of Rev. Chamberlain, the sec retary east the ballot of tha society for the nominees offered by the committee. niMnpM Moore thanked the society for the double honor conferred, but especially for relieving him from further duty as chairman. G. O. Baldwin then took the chair, and thanked the society for the honor conferred. He felt his inability to discharge the du ties of the office, and under any other cir cumstances would positively decline. But the cause of temperance lay next his heart, and he could not shirk a duty its further ance imposed. When he looked about him, and saw so many of our young men. with the bloom of youth upon their checks just budding into the golden fruit of manhood, being led daily down the pathway to ruin by rum; when he thought of the once pleasant hon»es,where happiness and plenty so lately reigned,transformed into wretched hovels, where grief and squallornow sit for household gods, it made his heart sick, and he was willing to make any sacrifice look ing to the abatement of this terrible •courge —intemperance. The thought often came to him, if oar yoang men be thus debauched, who will take the places of the old, gray-haired sires now attending to the interests of the community, when they shall have passed from their stations into the great Beyond ? He felt this thought ought to arouse all to a realisation of the enormity of the evil we are called upon to fight, and nerve each heart and hand to work. The cause was worthy of oar every effort, and demanded oar most serious and prayerful attention. Not only to the young did' these leaders in the temperance army owe the debt of labor; but to those who are ensnared by the demon that not only ruined mortals, and brought wretchedness to so many homes, but ruined souls, it was their plain duty to offer the hand of fel lowship; to lift them from the mire of in temperance ; invite their co-operation, and afford them an asylum from the woes by which they were surrounded. He hoped to aee the cause of prohibition march tri umphantly on until the very hills echoed the glorious refrain “The world is free from tbs liquor traffic forever!” Rev. Chamberlain thought they ought now do something religious—take up a col lection, sing or pray, and gave out the hymn - All hall the power of Jesus' name.” Which was sung with a will by the whole audience. Rev. Partridge offered a fervent prayer. At the suggestion of Rev. Barber, the chair added two more names to the execu tive committee, as provided in the consti j tution. Messrs. Templin and Barber were appointed as the additional members of that committee. Mr. L. W. Smith, of Rosita, inquired if I this was an auxiliary or parent society of : the kind, as lie desired to have a similar ; one organised at bis place. Mr. Fowler explained that this was the first and only society of the kind in the state, and Mr. Smith was at liberty to or ganise a similar one in Custer county. Being called upon by Rev. Chamberlaiu, Mr. Fowler then gave some information as to correspondence had with prominent temperance leaders, and the highest state officials of the Woman's Temperance Union and Good Templar lodge, all of whom con gratulated the Fremont county workers upon the step taken, and promised hearty co-operation. Mr. Fowler also suggested I the organisation of auxiliary societies all over the county. 1 Messrs. Templin and Sawyer, then made j stirring addresses upon the necessity of prohibition: yet dwelt with emphasis upon the fact that they nor other prohibi tion advocates had any ill-feeling toward liquor dealers —they simply wanted them to change their business, which all, par haps, desired to do. Rev. Chamberlain followed .and advocated the entertainment of an earnest, yet good, sweet spirit toward the misguided follow ers of Bacchus. The audience then sang •* Friends of temperance, lift your banner." Rev. Partridge explained a misapprehen sion that had gotten abroad as to his posi tion on the temperance uuestion. He was on earnest prohibition advocate. Messrs. Smith. Moore, Fowler and D.G. Peabody made short, stirring addresses, in support of the movement, explaining the true import of the pledge. Mr. Fowler offered a resolution to form auxiliary societies in every school district in the county. Adopted. Messrs. Fowler and Rudd, Jr„ were ap pointed s committee to circulate the pledge over the city, and solicit signet urea Iu view of the great interest being taken, it was thought beat to bold meet Inga oftener than ouce a month, end a motion to ad journ to meet next Monday evening then prevailed.
